Feeding Worries to My Stomach. Another Dieting No No. . .

I’ve been feeding worries to my stomach for a while now. It seems to have an insatiable appetite for them, often using its own lining as a condiment.

Truly I know this isn’t the best storage space for them but I’ve never been good at knowing which worries to share, which to keep and which to give away. Sending them to my stomach at least makes it appear they have been disposed of.

For a long time I thought I could continue this way – keep things status quo.

Unfortunately the anti-acids are getting expensive and frankly they don’t work all that well anyway.

I guess its time to take up Yoga. I’m thinking I can hide the worries in the mat instead.

    If you are worrying about something you can control, then take care of the worry by doing something about it.

    If you are worrying about something out of your control, give up the worrying because it accomplishes nothing and is a waste of time.

    Bad things happen to good people. It happens everyday. It’s not fair, but it happens.

    It took me a year’s supply of Rolaids to finally get that through my head, and once it did, the Rolaids were gone.

    Very good advice. Once I figure out where the worries are coming from that will help a lot!.

    . . .ok, to be honest, I can identify worries in both categories (things i can control and things i can’t)

    its the sorting which from which that is tough

    Yoga will probably help TREMENDOUSLY ! I had been taking glucosimine for several years, to help the dull ache in my hips.
    At one point I ran out, and decided to wait until the brand I liked went on the proverbial ‘2 for 1 sale.’ At the same time, I started Yoga, and noticed that my hips no longer ached ! It’s been about 2 yrs. now since I’ve taken the glucosomine….and I don’t miss it!
    Besides, I’d rather spend my money on Yoga class, for not only does it benefit my hips, but it benefits my whole being (physical & emototional!)
